GARBAGE PROBLEM iN BORACAY tO bE FOCUSED uPON iN 2013

The call to action regarding the problem on garbage is
being remedied with commitment.

According to Island Administrator, and current Solid
Waste Management Manager, Glenn Sacapaño,
the collection of garbage during midnight has been added so that garbage will
not remain uncollected. Garbage trucks also start collecting garbage at four in
the morning.

However, it
is unavoidable that there are instances wherein some garbage in the streets
remains uncollected by seven am due to the sheer volume of garbage to be
collected.

Nevertheless,
everything is allegedly done to prevent garbage becoming the cause of damage
of Boracay.

Sacapaño
admitted that their task is difficult at present especially that the number of
people in Boracay is not decreasing, rather, it is increasing.

The
increase in population and number of tourists is being pointed upon by the
Administrator on the garbage problem since allegedly, the 1Million tourists
arrival was expected to be reached by 2017 but it is only 2012 and the target
has been surpassed.

According
to the official, they will be focusing on the garbage collection problem in the
year 2013.
